Centuries
ago, Mexican craftsmen combined the natural elements of earth and fire to create
the Mexican "chiminea" (chi-mih-nee-ah). Originally used
as functional bread ovens, these wood burning stoves enchanted all who gathered

around them. Today thousands of people experience this same allure and warmth as
friends entertain each other on outdoor decks and patios. The pleasure of a chiminea
can be enhanced by adding fragrant woods such as pinion or

apple wood to the fire.

Indoors,
the intrigue of a chiminea can be enjoyed by filling the bottom with gravel and
scattering candles inside. The beauty of the glowing chiminea will accentuate
any room. Never burn a wood fire indoors.

Slight variations
in height, weight, texture, craftsmanship and color further enhance the individuality of each
Mexican chiminea
and clay rain cap. Each unit is unique and will have slight imperfections.
